Bethel department chosen to edit history journal
by Paul Davis
Bethel's History Department has been chosen Tor a
five-year project of editing
Firlcs El Historia, the journal
ol Ihe Conference on Faith
and History, an affiliate member of the American History
Association.
The 20-year-old conference
consists of about 600 "historians interested in the theme
of faith and history," according to Jim Johnson, professor
of history.
One of the reasons the conference chose Bethel lo edit
ihe journal is ihe college's
mid western location, which
is convenient lo both coasts.
Johnson feels lhal the opportunity will help to promole
Belhel. "We want to bridge
Ihe credibility gap and show
lhal there is good scholarship

The journal is edited by dif- Calvin College in Grand Rap-
ferenl schools for a five-year ids, Mich. "We plan lo change
Ihe journal by giving it a new
focus and a different influence, namely a Swedish Baptist background," said Johnson.
"It's good advertisement for
Bethel," said Johnson, "for the
kind of people we need to talk
to. It gives Ihe college a better
academic image. It also keeps
us (history dept.) more in
touch with the people who
are doing work on certain
subjects. We believe we can
do a lot of good with the articles. We can prove lhat Bethel
is alive with history too!"
The articles that will be
chosen by the history department for the journal will come
from the presentations of the
Conference on Faith and History at its professional meetings.
The journal is published
twice a year and averages

Decides to wait until trial is resolved

Steve Schlossbverg, who is
awaiting trial for failing to
register for the draft, has decided lo leave school.'
"Until the trial is resolved,
school would be the wrong
kind of commitment to make,"
Schlossberg said. According
to his lawyers, the trial would
probably take place in mid-
March, during the middle of
Ihe term. Schlossberg said his
financial situation was also a
factor in his decision.
Schlossberg completed his
sophomore year after January
interim. His plans are to come
back in the fall, pending the
court's decision.
"Everything's kind of on
hold for me at this point," he
said. "I can't make any long-
term plans.
"The assumption is that
we'll lose the trial in the
spring," he said. "But I haven't
decided about an appeal. It
seems like an appeal would
just be the same things over,
wilh a small success ratio. It
would be kind of like what
this is—fighting for the sake
of fighting, and I'm just not
sure if I want to do that."
Schlossberg is currently
working in a factory and writing a fiction novel, which he
says is "therapeutic."
Servanthood mural completed
by Amy Goss
What do sheep, butlers and
blue suits have to do with
servanthood? Everything according to Arl major Mark
Granlund, who painted the
new mural containing all
three, which is located by the
Beef Board.
Last year, the Student Sen-
ale approached Granlund
with the idea of a mural on
community. Granlund preferred the idea of servanthood.
"I drew my ideas and submitted it lo the Student Senate
and it was approved," said
Granlund,
Bul due to a series of obstacles, the painting did nol begin
until Ihe beginning of October.
"Afler the Senate approved
my picture, it had lo be ap
proved by the administration
but no one seemed to know
who had the official word,"
said Granlund. The approval
finally came one week before
finals, too late for Granlund
to get started. Granlund came
back this year anxious to get
started "but the person who
orders the paint had just quit
and no paint had been ordered.
Then the replacement for thai
person left as well. I finally
went to get the paint myself,"
said Granlund.
Granlund, a junior, did his
first mural freshman year in
an interim class. "We painled
a mural in the Snack and Pie
Shop at North Central Baptist
Church," he said.
"I was anxious to do this
mural at Bethel and to gel the
community involved," said
Granlund. Many people
helped paint the sky, grass
and background of the mural.
"People would come along and
ask what I was doing. I told
them, handed them a brush
and asked if they would like
to help. Some people were on
their way somewhere but
quite a few helped out. I made
some new friends and people
felt a part of what was happening," said Granlund.
Granlund hesitates to tell
exactly what his painting
means and all the symbolism
that is involved. "I want people to really look al it, think
for themselves and come to
their own meaning soil is real
for them," said Granlund.

Though it was a big project,
Granlund didn't feel too overwhelmed. "I like to take on big
projects. Then I realize how
much work is involved, but I
don't look at the whole thing.
I do it in parts, the background, the sheep and grass,

and it begins to take shape,"
said Granlund. "You just can't
keep looking to see how much
farther there is to go—you
just keep working."
Granlund finished the mural at the end of January.
